Corrections And Clarifications

March 11, 2007

A story on Page 1 Saturday about the Chicago Police Department's handling of a mentally ill woman who was injured in a fall last May misidentified the police officer who allegedly made the statement, "ain't nothing wrong with her and she ain't going to the hospital and if she keeps screaming, we are going to send her to the crazy hospital."

Police officer Pamela Smith did not make that statement. The family's lawsuit against the city alleges the statement was made by detention aide Teresa Williams.
